 Getting ready to come up to Muskoka Woods? Not sure what to pack? Print off the following list to make sure you don't forget anything and remember to label all clothing!
Equipment Required for Selected Programs B3 Guests (3 hr split & full day):
|
 If you are planning to have friends or relatives pick up your children (other than those you have authorized on your registration form), written permission outlining the details and your signature is mandatory. Those picking up guests should be prepared with photo identification. Our office must be notified in advance if your child will be leaving Muskoka Woods early or arriving late. |
 If you would like your child to have spending money at the Muskoka Woods Store, we highly recommend that you set up a TRUST ACCOUNT for them. We suggest $40 per week. Any balance remaining will be returned to the parent, after the child's stay by cheque or a credit applied back to your Visa or MasterCard. We strongly suggest set up your child's TRUST ACCOUNT prior to arrival by: 1) including it with your registration fee (see payment section on your form), 2) mailing a cheque to Muskoka Woods, or 3) calling the office using your Visa or MasterCard. |
 Homesickness is a very natural and common occurrence. In our experience, homesick periods are most prevalent at the beginning of the week and usually subside before mid-week. Since calling home often amplifies homesick emotions, our younger guests (7-11 yr. olds) are not encouraged to call home unless parents have notified us otherwise. If you permit your 7-11 yr. old to call home, a staff member will accompany them. When parents call the Muskoka Woods office for their child, a written message will be taken and delivered to them during meal times. If you receive a phone call from your child, we suggest that you focus on the fun they are having and the sports and activities they are learning. |
 Mail and email is distributed daily. You may bring mail with you on your arrival, leave it in the office labelled with the guest's name, age or section and the reuested day(s) it is to be delivered. Email sent to guest@muskokawoods.com should include the guest's name and age or section in the Subject line. |
 As children prepare to leave the resort and return home, they tend to misplace or forget some of their personal belongings. To avoid these losses please emphasize the importance of double-checking their luggage. If they are missing an item, encourage them to check the Lost and Found (in the Main Office) before leaving. Label all items with your child's name. |
 Policies are in place to discourage guest's from entering other guest cabins. Since it is impossible for Muskoka Woods to guarantee that theft or losses will not occur, we strongly advise that belongings be secured in a lockable suitcase or trunk. Muskoka Woods does not assume responsibility for lost or stolen articles. |
 Meals at Muskoka Woods are served buffet style. Guests enjoy wide variety of foods, including a full salad bar and vegetarian meals to choose from. Please inform us of your child’s special dietary needs and we will be glad to accommodate them. At most meals, guests are seated with their cabin group. Due to the number of guests and staff with nut allergies, we ask that you not send any snacks with your children containing nuts of any sort [including products containing traces of nuts or those made with peanut oil]. |
 Guests staying for more than one consecutive week may want to register for the laundry service. Guests registered for this service will receive a laundry bag during the week. Bags will go out on the weekend and be returned the following day. Further details will be announced during your child's stay. |
 Upon arrival at Muskoka Woods please take all medication to the Health Care Centre. Be sure to take the time to meet our medical staff. Should it be necessary for our doctor to prescribe special medication during your child's stay, parents will be billed for the cost of such medication. |
 At Muskoka Woods, our programs are designed for safe, healthy, athletic activity. We believe in providing our guests with not only the best sports facilities and equipment, but the best medical care available. Muskoka Woods maintains a Health Care Centre with several full-time nurses and a doctor in residence. Our medical staff attend to all routine and emergency medical needs on a 24 hour basis. The Health Care Centre is open three times a day for medication and consultation. A completed health form including health insurance (OHIP or equivalent) is mandatory. |
 Guests are housed in cabins. The 7-9 year olds have 2 counsellors and up to 8 guests in a cabin that includes washroom facilities. For 10-11 year olds, there are 2 counsellors and a maximum of 10 guests per cabin. Their washroom facilities, including hot water and showers, are a short distance from their cabin. Our 12-17 year old guests have one counsellor supervising a cabin of up to 11 guests. There are washroom facilities in their cabins. |

Within 30 days of scheduled arrival, the full registration fee is non-refundable unless a medical certificate accompanies the request.
